Resin paint
Resin colors and varnishes modern are paints (wall colors or lacquers ) used as binder a from petroleum synthesized resin - a so-called resin used -.
properties
Potential benefits are:
- Inexpensive: Compared to natural oils, mineral oil is still very inexpensive, homogeneous and abundant
- easy and safe processing
- high opacity
- Fast drying : paints in particular used to take days or weeks to dry out
- high elasticity
- adhere to a large number of, and especially smooth, substrates
- high abrasion resistance
- high water resistance or, if desired, good permeability to water vapor
Synthetic resin paints
The group of synthetic resin paints includes:
- Acrylic paint
- Alkyd resin paint
- Modern latex paint : a special form of emulsion paint that no longer contains latex
- Emulsion paint
- Nitrocellulose lacquers
No synthetic resin paints
On the other hand, the following paints use a "natural" binding agent, ie not synthesized from mineral oil:
- Violin varnish
- Mineral paint
- Most oil paints or varnishes: the oil used is usually non-mineral
- Lime paint
- shellac
- Sealing wax : is a varnish, but is rarely used as a coating; listed here for the sake of completeness
